Telecommunications health and safety: Fighter pilot disorientation and pulsed microwave radiation from radars

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced in August 2020 a bidding for submission of innovative research proposals for concepts that would lead to better understanding of the Impact of Cockpit Electro-Magnetics on Aircrew Neurology (ICEMAN: "Iceman" also happens to be the call sign of a fighter pilot portrayed in the movie Top Gun). In its request for proposal (RFP) [1], DARPA stated that "Current cockpits are flooded with radiofrequency (RF) noise from on-board emissions, communication links, and navigation electronics, including strong electromagnetics (EM) fields from audio headsets and helmet tracking technologies."
